Kyle Pitts is hitting the free agent market, and had a really good year last year, almost meeting his rookie stats, with over 900 yards on 88 receptions, which was significantly more than what Pittman managed to produce this year. I know one is a receiver, and the other a TE, but i am not so sure that their roles are really that significantly different. Pitts mainly plays off the line of scrimmage, and Pittman has been a big bodied WR, who mainly plays the middle of the field.

The top 5 TE's are earning between $15-19m a year, which is a lot less than what Pittman is projected to earn going forward.

If we had a receiving corps of Pierce, Downs, Pitts and Warren with Dulin, Gould, maybe Coleman Owen a mid round receiver, or mid level free agent pickup, i would be quite content that this would be something that Steichen could make work really well, for a lot less cap costs.
